Among the speakers were First Selectman Caspar K. Bailey, Third Se- lectman_Patrick T. Conneli and Rev. George H. Ewing. Frank Aubrey pre- sented the city merchants’ sidé of the case. Shortly ‘after '8 o'clock the meeting wu calied to order by Thomas Rev. George H. Ewing was electsd chairman and James Keating was elected secretary. John E. Hughes made a motion that the sense of the meeting be in favor of a reduction of the rate of fares. Selectman Caspar K. Bailey spoke in favor of the reso- lution, saying that the service given by the company was. becoming poorer and poorer and that he thought it was due to inefficiént management. He woasidered the increase exorbitant and George. H. Ewing said untu-nem ‘was strongly against the increase. and he consid- ered it high time that the machinery of the law: was put’ in motion to re- duce it. The motion of ‘Mr, Hughes was carried unanimously. Several of those present spoke on what they con- sideredl the unfair action of the gom- pany in raising the fares. John E. Hughes ‘then introduced a motion that the meeting petition the common council .of the city of wich to pass_the rollo ing resolutio ‘Whereas, The Line Electric Raeilway company. hn seen fit to, in- crease the fare collected on-the lines the transportation of passengers, to the great damage of this community and in_ utter dis- regard of public opinion.

Invaded and -Furniture Placed on Sidewalk in Rain. The plight of .five small children who were forced out-into the pouring rain Tuesday morning, when the fur- niture in their home in_ West Coit street, New London, had been moved out and piled on the sidewalk by the landlord’s orders in the absence of the children’s parents, who were both at work, aroused the sympathy of neigh- bors who took the little ones into their homes and supplied:them with warm food and dry" clothing. Not much ‘is known by the people of West Coit street about the family to which the children belong, so ef- forts are being made to "locate the parents. Supt. Richard W. Mlnsfle]d of the B. P. Learned mission was informed os the children’s plight and immedi- ately started to make arrangements for their care until their parents are in condition to provide them s home again. Captured Large Coon. On Monday evening a party of coon hunters captured a coon in the vicin- ity of Salem, weighing a little over 18 pounds.

From Mwhat data he could gather Mr. Hughes said that the Bran- ford wreck would ‘cost the company $300,000. Why is-it that the Connec- ticut company operate at an_ increase in fares of 20 per cent. .while the Shore Line has to ralse their passen- ger tariff 40 to 30 per cent? he.ask- ed. The answer, said Mr. Hughes, is inefficiency. Frank G. Aubrey- spoke in favor of the resolution, saying the _increased fares were driving trade away from the Norwich merchants and that there should have beem a meeting in the Town hall to determine the sentiment of the public. Mr. Aubrev was in fa- vor of such » mn~c‘in~ af the common vuncil did not pass the résolution. The motion wus carried unanimous- iy, Rev. George H. Ewing. Third Select- man_Patrick T.

NORWICH THEATREGOERS MUST PAY TAX Government Orders Will Go Into Ef- fect Thursday. Beginning Thursday, November 1st, the Breed -and Davis theatres will col- lect a one cent war tax on every 10 cents spent for admission to these theatres. The management will turn the extra pennies over to the United States government to help win the war and make demdcracy safe for the world. Every cent over the regular price of admission you pay at either the Breed or Davis will be turned ovgr to the government. This tax means one cent on each 10 cent ticket, two cents on each 15 cent and 20 cent ticket, 3 cents on ecery 25 cent. tickét. It is said some theatres have raised their prices 5 cents, there. by making money on this tax, but the Breed and Davis theatres do not want to profit by the war tax and only the amount asked for by the government | will be charged. The prices will be absolutely the same .s before with just the additional war tax. The law holds every theatre manager respon- sible for the collection of.the war tax. Other taxes which go into effect on Thursday follow: Freight, Express and Tickets. These increases are provided for un- der Tities V. VII and XI of the rev- enue la%v of Oct. 3. The law . pro- vided that Titles V and VII should take effect Nov. 1 and Title XI 30 days after passage, which is Nov. 2. Title V is a “war tax on facilitie: furnished by public utilities, and in- surance.” To business men perhaps its most important feature is its <hree = per cent. tax on freight carried by rail- road . or steamer. More individuals, however, have occasion to send pack- ages by express than by freight, and they are faced by a fax of one cent for each 20. cents of charge, or frac tion thereof. If hitherto a parcel was ents, the cost is now 21 cents. n the rate was . 25 cents, it 1s now 27, 53, and so on. St)ll .Mmore are concerned in the tax of 8 per cent. on all railroad or steam- boat passenger tickets of 36 cents or Individual tickets costing 35 are not affected and at e prevailing rate of 2 1-2 cents a mile that exemption covers most rai road journeys of 14 miles. Extra For Theatre Seats. So far as single rilroad or boat tickets are concerned, a ticket costing from 36 to 40 cents will be taxed 3 cents with 4 cents’ tax on 44 to 56 cents, 5 cents on 57 to 68 cents, 6 cents on 69 to 81 cents, 7 cents on 82 to 93 cents, 8 cents on 94 to $1.06, and so on. On long railroad or boat journeys theer will be a second burden in- the flat 10 per cent. tax on costs of berths, staterooms and parlor car seats. An application of Title VIT, the “war tax on admission and dues,’ is going to be a complex problem to set- tle in many of its detalis. So far as the general public is concerned. how- ever, the tax imposes 1 cent on each 10 cents _or fraction thereof of the cost of seats for theatres, moving pic- tures or other money making enter- ‘tainment. The Transportation T: A peculiar situation which arises Prough the tax law on tramsportation s set forth editorially by the New i London Day as follow: A regretiable situatibn arises with reference to sub-division C of section 500, in_ Title V, of the war revenue act {cf 1917. The ‘section purports to tax transportation. , To begin.with. this tax idea s a American _transportation { crsts are high enough already without | the addition of a heavy tax item. The seneral movement is toward higher costs even without the creased equipment the transportation Irterests need all the revenue which the public can asord to pay in the way of rates. Many of the transportation rates are already as high as the traf- fic will bear, that is, if the cost of a ride or of shipment is increased any further, the transportation company will lose revenue. This war tax will in such cases directly cut the revenue {of the transportation company. a thing which the framers of the law did not contemplate or desis In an; jvent, the tax is a grievous one.

Its promptness, certainty and ease in over- coming such stomach disorders is a revelation to those who try it. staterooms and fares on ves- 1t bears and berths, sels, constitute a heavy toll. vexatiously on both companies patrons. 5 Section C is as follows: . “A tax equivalent to § per centum of the amount- paid for the trassporta- tion of persons by rail or water, or any form of mechanical motor powe® on a regular established line when in competition- with carriers by rail or water, from ‘one point in the United States to another or to any point in Canada or- Mexico, where the _ticket therefor is sold or issued in the United States, not including the amount paid for commutatior: or season tickets for trips less than 30 miles or for trans- portation the fare for which does not exceed 35 cents, and, a tax equivalent to 10 per centum of the amount paid for seats, berths and staterooms in parlor _cars. sleeping cars, or on ves- sels. If a mileage book used for.such transportation or accommodation has been purchased before this _section takes effect. or if cash fare be paid, the tax imposed by this section shall be collected from ghe person present- ing the mileage book, or paying the cash fare, by the conductor or other azent, when presented for such trans- portation or accommodation. and _the amount so collected shall be paid to the United States in such manner and at such times as the commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, may pre- ecribe; if a ticket (other than a mi; age book) is bought and partially used Lefore this section goes into effect it shall not be tased. but if bought but not so used before this section takes effect. it shall n:ot be valid for passage until the tax Las been paid and such payment evidenced on the ticket in such manner as the commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the secretary of the treasury, may by regulation prescribe Now suppose that a persom riding on the street railway, let us say. between New London and Norwich, instead of aying his fare of 36 cents through to Norwich. and nccessarily in addition trereto the war tax. pays only to Mont- ville, which he reaches for 18 cents, !nv\d‘then pays from Montville to Nor- wich, what hinders him from escaping the tax altogether? Nothing, so far as we. can.see. -The conductor can’t put him off, and the conductor con’t collect the 'tax. either. If. notwith- standing; he did collect it. he could p3t it in his pocket and keep it and nobody would be the wiser, for there is no rec- crd turned into the company to show that the tax should be collected. There would' only be a record of an 18 cent fare to Montviile. and of an-18 cent fare from Montville to Norwich, with nothing to show that the two fares came from the same person. A man with a mileage book could do the same sort of thing on the steam road. And in many cases the person buying tickets could work the same dodge. by buying tickets to and from itermediate points. rather than the through ticket costing more than .35 cents. In addition to being mean. the law is a very careless law, for it plainly allows leakage of a large percenta: of _the tax it proposes to impose. If the street railway or steam road, or .motor bus. should reduce its fare on account of the tax. the government would accuse it of trying to help the rublic escape taxation, but the law leaves the putlic in position to evade a large proportion of, the tax, and in a muititude of cases to avoid it alto- gether, without any help from any- bedy. All a person needs to do is to pay a lot of little fares, each under 35 cents, instead of paying 35 cents or more at one time for the whole ride. Probably the next congmss will amend this defective section of the law. . as doubtless many others that will be found equally careless in rhraseology, but congress would do netter etill to repeal the transporta- tion tax altogether. for the burden falls, as we have said. on an industry already put to its wits' end to endure the wartime strain.
